Revolution or evolution? Reflections on in-memory appliances from an enterprise information logistics perspective
(IMDM 2011 – Proceedings zur Tagung Innovative Unternehmensanwendungen mit In-Memory Data Management, 2011) Winter, Robert; Bischoff, Stefan; Wortmann, Felix
While the conceptual architecture of enterprise information logistics has been stable since the late 1980ies, IT hardware has been subject to radical change recently. Since in-memory appliances as a new technology might address many challenges of information logistics, we discuss its potentials first. Based on a case study of a global automotive company, we then compare potentials with actual achievements. We conclude that there are situations where in-memory appliances are a useful extension to existing IT support concepts, while other situations do not require such support. As a consequence, we regard in-memory appliances as an evolution, but not revolution of IT support from an enterprise information logistics perspective.
